For example, if the phone should automatically ring someone or play a greeting when picked up without having to enter an extension? - Robert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When the phone is picked up Asterisk will try exten => s in the context that channel is in. -- Eric Wieling * BTEL Consulting * 504-210-3699 x2120
